The Story Downs Railway

Imagine that fairies are always hiding in the background, quietly playing a part in the events of everyday life. Now imagine that supposedly inanimate objects are actually listening to everything people do. Put those together, and you get the world Anam Cara and her friends live in. Anam is a Solace Fairy who spends her nights trading stories with the model trains she brings to life. Anam's mother, Dóchas, has basically adopted the people who own the trains as her fairy godchildren, and the more Anam learns about their story, the more she wishes her part in the story was bigger. While she's waiting for her chance to do something she thinks is important, Anam strikes up a friendship with a broken-down engine named Foxrun. Foxrun has to wait too, for the day he finally gets fixed. It takes patience for both of them, but they manage to at least have a little fun until the waiting pays off. Anam, Foxrun, and several other people, engines, and fairies see how much they need each other as their separate stories come together into one.
